Reese's Playoff Challenge
How the contest works. Everything below is this league’s actual configuration, not a description of it.
The contest
Runs from the first week of the NFL playoffs through the Super Bowl. Each week’s score is added to your team’s total and accumulates for the whole contest.
There is no draft. You select a roster once and it stays yours for the duration. Players are never taken off the board — you and someone else can hold the same player. There is no free agency and no roster changes after the lock.
Your roster
12 players, one from each of 12 different playoff teams:
One player per team. If you take Patrick Mahomes at QB, you may not have any other Chiefs on your roster — kicker and defense included. Fourteen teams make the playoffs and you use 12 of them, so 2 teams go untouched. Choosing which is most of the game.
Lock
The commissioner has not set a lock time yet.
